A brief description of the term hate crime often refers to an individual, a business, an institution or even a society as a whole. Many people know hate crimes mainly as racial orientated, religious, sexual, and ethnicity orientated.
In June 1993, the United States Supreme court upheld a hate crime statute that was based on model legislation originally drafted by the Anti-Defamation League (ADC) in 1981.
The Anti-Defense league has been making efforts to counteract hate motivated criminal activity all across the states. Hate crime statutes are necessary because the failure to address this type of crime could cause an isolated incident to explode into widespread community tension. A lot of hate crimes are not covered in the South Carolina state law.
In 1999 nearly 70 percent of hate crime offenders were white, 16 percent were black, 4 percent were multi-racial, and 2 percent were Asian pacific. Another 1 percent was Native American and 9 percent of the offenders were unknown.
Anyone can fall victim to a hate crime. They usually target because of the persons ethnicity, and gender. It’s not just one certain type of person.
Hate crimes usually occur in schools or in neighborhoods. This type of crime can occur in almost anywhere and those living in urban areas.
